Wicked Bloopers and Funny Moments

[@mitchell12375]

The Kristin Chenoweth adlib is a long standing theatre tradition than on a performers last night they are allowed to go a little crazy and have fun with it

[@devotedcetacean6568]

I mean yeah it's not like you can fire them

[@Kurgosh1]

The last Popular seems to be where the Glindas put their stamp on it. Jana Stelley's is amazing, though it's in German. The Elphabas mostly cut loose with the riffs in Defying Gravity.

[@save_bandit]

imagine doing that in Hamilton 💀

[@agreenpar]

I love how when Kristen is Ad-libbing, Idina doesn’t even care about staying in character and just starts LAUGHING

[@bradenmills624]

Kristin's "Popular" book goes down in iconic Wicked moments right along with JLT unsuccessfully putting the flower in Shoshana's wig.

[@uhmno7944]

Braden Mills Its like one of those Clips for a 4 year old (I would mess it up too though ngl)

best thing about live theatre. you could see the same show 50 times and never the same performance.

[@HappinessGuano]

"I wrote a book... "How to be popular". Now, I've put together a top ten list how to help you. Elphie, everyday shower. Who knows, maybe some of that green's gonna come off. Deodorant, Elphie. Nobody likes a stinky witch. I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that...

The conductor saw what was happening on stage but not the musiciens I guess, they were probably wondering why they needed to do this scene all over again 😂

the reason i think it is so hilarious when Kristen pulled out her book was that literally every single person in the cast and crew knew it was going to happen, EXCEPT FOR IDINA!! that’s that she was laughing so hard!!

all i heard was “i wrote a book” and i started dying

[@ritzcrackerzzzzz]

At the show I saw, when Glinda threw the wand back during Popular, it bounced off the wall and came flying back at her. She giggled and threw it again, and you could see Elphaba cracking up and then trying to hide it. It was hilarious.

[@HappinessGuano]

[@brookeshapiro2765]

The last popular was done pretty much on purpose. Most but Idina knew it was going to happen so they let her roll with it at least from what I heard

[@zoeanderson7685]

Brooke Shapiro They let it roll, but the reason Idina is laughing so hard is that EVERYONE ELSE, stagehands, cast members, understudys, EVERYONE BUT Idina knew it was going to happen. They kept it secret from her😂😂

[@fishfingersndcustard]

There's also a cute bit in Popular with Kerry Ellis and Kendra Kassebaum where Kendra says "Elphabie, now that we're friends..." I think the "Elphabie" instead of "Elphie" is cute and hilarious.

[@theater101girl]

fishfingersndcustard thats real thats what galinda called her in every show

[@anushasridhar4111]

Elphabie omg

[@greenmousewitch]

There was an audio out there of Eden Espinosa as Elphaba and Deede Magno Hall as Nessa. During the wicked witch of the east when Nessa calls Boq to come back, he misses his entrance and after like 10 second of awkward silence, Edens like "Where is that little guy" and her and Deedee keep yelling for him until he makes his entrance lmao.

[@poppypriest4313]

I don't really get why she reacted to them, she should have kept singing or maybe waved her wand to blow them away

[@foxtatertot]

Kristin ad-libing with her book during "Popular" was a joke that she and the crew all knew about. Idina was the *only one* who didn't know it was going to happen. It was during Kristin's last performance in Wicked and Kristin wrote the book with the only objective of making Idina smile and laugh.

[@memethyst]

oh my god the underwear one and the flower one

Live theater is unforgiving. I know the feeling when something starts to go wrong in front of a large audience and it is one of the worst feelings there is when you can't do anything about it.

[@railenherman6482]

I laughed so hard at the "Defying Gravity" blunder.

[@zoequality]

This is part of the reason I love Wicked, even though I haven't seen it live. They can fool around onstage in certain scenes, and it will look as if its part of the script.

[@hannahm147]

All of these ad libs are amazing! I've seen a lot of comments mentioning some lines, but is no one going to talk about the book part where Galinda says "colours blended-" and just looks at Elphaba before moving on?? Or Elphaba spazzing after yelling at Dorothy?

"No good deed goes unpunished!! Sure duh good-tentions duh-duh hrrmmmmm--" Wow, brilliant ad lib, Teal!! Those should have been the original lyrics! :D

[@JesseColton]

Transcription of Kristen's ad-lib because it's hard to hear: "I wrote a book: 'How To Be Popular.' Now, I've put together a top ten list of how I'm gonna help you. - Elphie, every day... Shower. Who knows? Maybe some of that greens gonna come off. - Deodorant, Elphie. No one likes a stinky witch. - I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. - Clean underclothes.... That's all I'm gonna say. - Look at your posture! That's no way to be popular! - Bed made, room straightened, we've done that. - Colors blended... But the most important thing to have to make yourself popular is to keep your beautiful smile."

[@crazysquirrel7]

LOL attack of the killer bubbles!!! :) Sho's spazzing is hysterical!!!! Poor Kristin... :) This is ingenius!!! great job!!

[@horrormgirl4979]

When Kristen ad libs, do the audience know she is messing up and why does aiding laugh?

[@Aud-zd9tk]

I believe they do and indina didn't know

[@edavis7740]

I think it was hyped up and people fought for those seats since it was her last night, kind of like when Lin Miranda left Hamilton recently.

[@justyourvoice]

Kristen did it on purpose, and the audience thought it was funny.

[@uhmno7944]

Idina didn’t know that why she was laughing so hard Everyone else knew (but the audience of course)

[@lisambofoh]

Am I the only Wicked fan who wants two totally new people to play Elphaba and Glinda in the movie? I don't want anyone who has done it on the stage because I want it to be as fresh and new as possible.

[@scottstephen3697]

I agree. Rooting for Samantha Barks and Ashley Park.

[@oliviacastro4952]

All actors do that on their last show

[@kevinr.m.richardson812]

Sadly it's not uncommon even among professionals, but it's hardly all who lower themselves to it.

[@avemflamma]

"Lower themselves to it"? What's wrong with having a bit of fun on their last show??

[@juliah7921]

Kevin R.M. Richardson, ALP you must be so fun at parties 🙄 it was her last show and it was funny

[@overlydramaticpanda]

@@kevinr.m.richardson812 In terms of musicals? It's far more likely to happen than not. Also it's not "lowering themselves" to anything - muck-up matinees are practically a tradition at this point; this is their last chance to enjoy themselves in these roles AND it gives the audience something to enjoy as well, sending them off on a high note. Besides, most actors are talented and sensible enough to do things that are either mostly unnoticeable or that still fit with the scene (Kristen's book adlib is a perfect example) so even if you've never seen the show before, it still makes perfect sense.

[@crazysquirrel7]

They both start crying, and then they start laughing at each other. This is great!

[@MvyMkr]

That 1st one...IDINA SOUNDS AMAZING! *GASP* The changes and the riffage...I LOVE HER! And the "Beautiful smile" bit just makes me go AAAAAAAAAWH! Teal Wicks seems to forget quite a lot lol, bless her. And Oh God, the last one on Christins last show is just the nicest moment EVER! Great collection of moments :-)

This scene will NEVER get old! Ever..! XD I love watching both their faces... Jennifer looks so calm at first, and then she purses her lips and sticks out her tongue... Shoshana is just in hysterics. xDD "Bee-bye"...? Someone's been watching too much Lucky Star... A great collection. x3

[@TheJFish94]

There was a blooper that I remembered from the second part of this video where at the beginning of the "Popular" scene, the beds didn't come out on time, but when they did, the actress playing Glinda ad-lib the line "Oh look, a moving bed!" I don't know if you still have that audio for someone else does.

[@KristinandIdinagirl]

This is like the 50th time I've seen this and I'm always feel like I have to correct the lines the Elphabas forget. Oh well. This never gets old!!

[@candyflosskiller]

omg. first 20 seconds, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Gotta love Idina

[@charmedgirl90]

I love how bloopers in broadway shows can help to make it more of an experience! I remember when i saw the wizard of oz and the dog that played toto pooed on the stage and they couldn't clean it up so they had to keep skipping over it and ad lib it in till a stage hand could clean up! The dog was very naughty through the whole thing

[@crazysquirrel7]

This is GREAT!!! Thanks!! I LOVE watching bloopers and stuff like that!!!!

[@Niqhtmusic]

ANNALEIGHH OMG attacked by bubbles!! 😂😂😂

[@HopeUnquenchable]

It is! Wish I could remember how to find it; it's great how potential disasters like that get turned into even better comedy than the audience expects!

[@lillmango]

poor idina in the popular ad lib...she obviously wasnt expecting that

[@HopeUnquenchable]

Should see the rest of that scene. When she gives her the mirror, the flower falls off of her dress and she ends up holding it up to her face!

[@Squidgerydoodle]

Haha, you forgot the part after JLT puts the flower in Shoshana's hair where it falls out again and she has to hold it up to her head to look in the mirror! Also, Teal Wick's mumbling through the line was hilarious.

[@chrislowfamily]

"...is to wear a pair of THESE!!!" I don't think anyone will understand this reference but I Megan Hilty totally reminds me of GIR from Invader Zim in that clip.

[@DreadestPersephone]

Orange Bar Perhaps she did it for comedic effect. It was funny, I thought. But not everyone has the same sense of humor 😊

[@katiem1431]

I think was also that they were getting in her mouth which can't be good when you're singing

[@eilidhw]

i LOVE Shoshana's little spazzy moment. genius!

[@ImBeautifullyTragicx]

All the Idina and Kristin ones are the best - except the last one which is so so sad. Kristin cried so much in that show and they both really cried in 'for good'. They were such good friends. Thats why they were so brilliant for the parts of Elphie and Glinda; they actually meant every word they said and every line they sang. If Wicked ever becomes a movie, they HAVE to bring chenzel back!!! And Wicked had BETTER become a movie!

[@mimmar3891]

I actually think the swatting the bubbles was kind of a Glinda-y thing to do -- at least Glinda in Wicked! I know it wasn't written that way but I'd be surprised if people who hadn't seen the show before even knew that something was out of the ordinary.

[@ThisPerfectFinale]

This is why theatre is 100 000 times better than movies and pre-recorded shows and everything else, just because of the fact everything can go wrong but still be so good and the thrill of watching all this amazing stuff happen :)

[@MegansYbba]

I love how Jennifer Laura Thompson practically climbs on Shoshana! :)

[@dreemaze]

That last part, I don't think it was really laughing cause she was probably feeling it too, and you know how some people when they start to do a happy cry, you have a small giggle. Like a bitter sweet moment, and that was perfect!

[@thoamsxxman]

That happened to us during Thoroughly Modern Millie. We had a quick set change where we spun around this giant platform, and the girl running curtain started going too early and it caught the platform and ripped. During intermission, our director somehow pulled out a bunch of safety pins out of nowhere and fixed it.

[@Applebutter799]
